The multicultural peer mentoring project at Hamilton supports first-year students as they embark on their Hamilton education. Although the program is open to any new student who desires a peer mentor, it is designed with the knowledge that international, first-generation (first in the family to attend college) and historically underrepresented students face special challenges in transitioning to college life. MP2 facilitates relationships between first-year students and experienced student mentors, who provide assistance and support throughout the initial year at Hamilton.
